"Testing forage provides a clear picture of essential mineral levels, helping prevent deficiencies in nutrients like copper and zinc."
Equine diets built around forage must be carefully assessed to ensure they meet mineral and micronutrient requirements. Hay and pasture can vary widely depending on soil quality, harvest timing, and storage methods. Minerals such as copper and zinc are often overlooked yet play critical roles in metabolic and immune functions. Forage testing is an affordable and valuable tool to guide ration balancing and supplement choices, especially in performance or breeding animals.
